The Rise Of A Porter

BOOM!

BOOM!

​​

BOOM!

The room echoed with the sounds of clashing fists. Only the B ranked golem was able to take direct hits from the reaper\'s scythe, but even so, taking a hit from an A ranked boss was no joke and every time the golem took a hit, he lost a large part of his HP.

"Just a little bit more..." Arnold gritted his teeth, he had been continuously casting spells at the reaper to support the golems. The strain of casting so many spells continuously soon started taking a toll on Arnold. His mana was depleting faster as well, mana regeneration couldn\'t keep up with the depletion speed. He had hoped that after using his abilities, EL would somehow manage to get reaper\'s attention so that Arnold would get some time to regenerate his mana. But sadly EL was still concentrating on activating his ability.

"How long does it takes to activate one ability!" Arnold was frustrated by this point.

"One... more... minute," EL mumbled behind him.

"Let\'s do this then. TRY TO RESTRICT HIS MOVEMENT!" Arnold ordered his golems, before using [ FROZEN LANCE ] ability and started throwing the lances at the reaper, who effortlessly managed to dodge them all. "I said RESTRICT HIS MOVEMENT!"

The next moment, one of the rank C golems rushed towards the reaper. The reaper sensed the danger approaching him, immediately swung his scythe at the golem destroying him in an instant. Arnold had pretty much expected this outcome, but what happened next surprised him.

_________________________

Arnold couldn\'t believe his luck! [ULTIMATE SACRIFICE], was a passive exclusive to the golems and only had a 10% chance of being triggered after a golem was destroyed. It was very useful passive because the ability could deal up to 30% of target\'s maximum HP as physical damage. Furthermore, the target would be frozen for 2 minutes. enough time for him to throw the remaining lances at him as well as for EL to attack the reaper. But the next moment his luck vanished as another message popped open in front of him.

_________________________

[UNDEAD REAPER] activated the skill [ILLUSION OF THE SPIRIT] nullifying all status effects.

[UNDEAD REAPER] isn\'t [FROZEN] anymore.

The reaper disappeared from Arnold\'s sight only to reappear in front of him and was about to kick him, Arnold hastily raised various walls made of ice and earth in front of him. But it was all in vain as the reaper\'s kick broke through the walls as if they were made of paper and managed to hit Arnold on his chest.

BOOM!

Arnold felt like he was run over by a double-decker bus, and was sent flying towards the wall behind him. Multiple of his ribs were broken, blood was gushing out of his mouth, bones in his right hand were completely shattered. More messages flashed in front of his eyes.

_________________________

Just one hit by the reaper almost killed him. If it wasn\'t for the walls he had made at the last moment, he would\'ve died for sure. His HP was being restored but he wasn\'t being able to move. He opened his eyes, the reaper was standing over him. The reaper raised his scythe above his head and was about to slam it down on him. Arnold averted his gaze from his certain doom and looked at the golems.

The two remaining golems were running towards the reaper with all their might, but the distance was too much. They won\'t be able to reach in time. Seeing this, Arnold closed his eyes, thinking about Nicole.

"I\'m sorry..." he mumbled.

THUMP

As the reaper was about to finish Arnold off, when a flash of red light appeared out of nowhere, severing the reaper\'s arm and slashing him in multiple places.

"Why don\'t you fight me now!" EL roared in rage, his eyes were burning red as if his body was made of fire. He continued slashing and stabbing the reaper in multiple places, weakening him bit by bit.

However even after losing an arm, the reaper was calm and wasn\'t bothered at all. He tried to pick up his scythe with his remaining left arm but before he could, the B ranked Golem punched him in the face knocking him off balance and picked up the scythe instead. EL wasn\'t done either, he kept slashing his sword at the monstrous boss. The battle came to an end when the golem finally managed to sever the reaper\'s head with his own scythe.

Arnold had his eyes opened by now, he saw how EL saved his life and how his golem finally killed the boss. He wanted to thank them but he lost consciousness before he could.
